Yiting Lin; Yunqi Cai; Cheng Lian; Shouhong Xu; Wenqing Zhang; Honglai Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Ion transport, involving the diffusion and migration of ions within the electrolyte, stands as a fundamental concept in electrochemistry and serves as the driving force for electrochemical reactions. Electric double layers are critical in the fields of electrochemical energy storage and chemical conversion, constituting a central focus of…

Salvador Gallegos-Martínez; Kristen Aideé Pérez-Alvarez; Grissel Trujillo-de Santiago; Mario Moisés Alvarez – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Ye Jiang; Xin Sun; Guomeng Zhang; Da Han; Zhengda Yang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The flue gas from waste incineration power plants contains high-level zinc species that may deactivate the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NO[subscript x]) with NH[subscript 3]. A comparison experiment was designed to investigate the effect of different types and Zn/Ce molar ratios on the performance of…

Rice, Nicholas P.; de Beer, Martin P.; Williamson, Mark E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
A simple low-cost experiment has been developed for the measurement of the binary diffusion coefficients of liquid substances. The experiment is suitable for demonstrating molecular diffusion to small or large undergraduate classes in chemistry or chemical engineering. Students use a cell phone camera in conjunction with open-source image…

Sommer, Cesar Adolfo; Silva, Flavio Henrique; Novo, Maria Teresa Marques – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2004
Practical classes on protein expression and purification were given to undergraduate biology students enrolled in the elective course "Introduction to Genetic Engineering." The heterologous expression of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)* of "Aequorea victoria" is an interesting system for didactic purposes because it can be viewed easily during…
